As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in excitement.
Everyone's face was filled with shock.
What astonishing news did they hear? The Demonic Sect of the Wasteland, which had stood for a thousand years, was actually destroyed by Ke Haoran?
This is simply unbelievable.
In today's world, there are many sects and a wide variety of doctrines, among which the oldest are the four major sects of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism.
Buddhist sects include the Buddha School, Shaolin Temple, Lankeshan Temple, and the Two Chan Temples.
Taoism includes Haotian Taoism, Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, etc.
Confucianism included academies, Shangyin Academy, and Xiaoshengxianzhuang.
The Wasteland Demon Sect is the birthplace of the demonic path and holds a pivotal position within it.
The Demonic Sect was wiped out overnight, shocking the entire martial arts world and the imperial court.
This particular case, in particular, has sparked countless speculations, as no one knows who the murderer is.
Later, the matter gradually subsided, becoming a mystery among people in the martial arts world.
When Su Chen commented on the Haotian Holy Sword Sect before, many experts speculated that the Wasteland Demon Sect might also have been destroyed by Haotian.
Because the Demonic Sect is too ancient and has a profound foundation, no one except the incomparably powerful True God Haotian could think of anyone else who could do this.
Now the mystery has finally been solved.
It turns out that it was not Haotian who destroyed the Wilderness Demon Sect, but Ke Haoran from the Tang Academy, a young man who was only twenty-four years old.
This is absolutely terrifying!
Ke Haoran entered the Land Celestial Realm at the age of nineteen, and broke through to the Celestial Great Longevity Realm in just five years, destroying one of the oldest forces in the world—the Wasteland Demon Sect.
Such a record can be described as unprecedented and unparalleled.
Only then did everyone understand why the powerful Wasteland Demon Sect had been destroyed overnight.
Because they offended someone they couldn't afford to mess with—the most outrageous person in the world, Ke Haoran.
Ke Haoran's talent far exceeded ordinary people's imagination, and his breakthroughs seemed to come naturally.
Even the transition from a terrestrial celestial being to a celestial being of great longevity did not pose any obstacle for him.
In particular, Su Chen's last sentence left everyone speechless with shock.
Ke Haoran barely cultivated, yet he climbed all the way to the peak of the Celestial Longevity Realm, but this was not his limit.
Everyone felt a chill creep down their spines.
Could it be that the ultimate goal of immortality is not the end of martial arts?
For Ke Haoran, this is undoubtedly not the end.
Given another opportunity, he will be able to break through again and enter the realm beyond the Great Longevity of Celestials.
In this world, besides Ke Haoran, are there any other people who can reach that level?
Before this, almost everyone believed that Lu Zu had reached the pinnacle of martial arts in the human world.
Who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts? Upon seeing Lu Zu, all others pale in comparison!
Lu Zu was a person who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts.
But now, that idea is beginning to waver.
Many people began to have a bold idea:
Perhaps there is a new realm beyond the Great Longevity of Heaven and Man, and Ke Haoran is not the only one in this world who can reach it.
For example, the guardians of the other four realms besides Beijing and Kunlun are very likely to be powerful figures in this supreme realm.
Thinking about this, everyone felt that this world was too terrible.
At the same time, Su Chen's words also completely revealed the reason for Ke Haoran's retirement.
To everyone's surprise, the person who kept such an extraordinary person as Ke Haoran in the shadows for fifteen years turned out to be a woman.
Even heroes have their trials!
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
There are previous examples such as Lang Fanyun, Li Chungang, and Wuming.
Even Ke Haoran, a pinnacle figure in human swordsmanship, is like this now.
This shows that the allure of beautiful women to top-tier individuals is truly immeasurable.
Ke Haoran was not restrained by the Desolate Demon Sect, which had been passed down for thousands of years, but his life was stagnant for a full fifteen years because of Jian Xiao'er's death.
This deep affection moved everyone, but also filled them with immense anger towards Lian Sheng Thirty-Two.
Chapter 75 Love Trap
Without a doubt, Lian Sheng Thirty-Two's talent is many times greater than Po Jun's.
He even possessed a talent similar to that of Lü Zu, being proficient in all methods and mastering the supernatural powers of Buddhism, Demonism, and Taoism.
But none of the people present felt any respect for him; instead, they felt deep contempt and hatred.
Because this Lian Sheng Thirty-Two is even more despicable than Po Jun.
Po Jun and Wu Ming at least had some grudges or conflicts of interest.
Ke Haoran and Lian Sheng Thirty-Two had absolutely no connection, but because Ke Haoran was more talented, Lian Sheng Thirty-Two wanted to kill him.
Especially the conspiracy that Lian Sheng Thirty-Two devised to kill Ke Haoran.
This not only led to the tragic death of Jian Xiao'er, her close confidante, but also implicated many monks and guests participating in the Ullambana Festival, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people.
If Ke Haoran were to vent his anger on the Haotian Dao Sect, it would surely be a bloody battle with countless deaths and injuries.
Fortunately, Ke Haoran was extremely intelligent and saw through Lian Sheng Thirty-Two's scheme, thus averting an even greater disaster.
So when they heard that Lian Sheng Thirty-Two was imprisoned inside the Demon Sect's mountain gate, everyone felt genuinely delighted.
Such a ruthless and insane demon would be too lenient to be simply killed.
He should be tormented every day, to the point of wishing he were dead.
After a brief silence, the people in the hall began to discuss among themselves:
"Heavens! Did I hear that right? The Wasteland Demon Sect was actually wiped out by Ke Haoran?"
"Ke Haoran is really too ruthless. The Wasteland Demon Sect has existed for a thousand years, and he destroyed it just like that?"
"It's not that the Wasteland Demon Sect is too weak, but that Ke Haoran is too strong. What force can stop Ke Haoran, who is at the Great Longevity Realm of the Celestial Beings?"
"Terrifying! Ke Haoran reached the Land Celestial Realm at the age of nineteen, and then reached the Celestial Great Longevity Realm in just five years? This talent is simply too heaven-defying."
"Ke Haoran can break through to the level of Celestial Immortality? What does that mean? Isn't Celestial Immortality the ultimate goal of martial arts?"
"I used to think that Lu Zu was the limit of human martial arts, but now it seems that there may really be stronger people in the world than the Celestial Longevity."
"Beyond the Great Longevity of Celestials, what a terrifying realm that must be."
In the fifth private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor.
Ye Hongyu's eyes widened, and she said in surprise in a low voice, "The Wasteland Demon Sect was actually destroyed by Ke Haoran?"
As a core figure in the Haotian Dao Sect, no one knew better than her how powerful the Wasteland Demon Sect was.
For thousands of years, the Xiling Temple has claimed countless times to unite with various righteous sects to besiege the Wilderness Demon Sect, but it has never succeeded.
Such a formidable Wilderness Demon Sect was actually wiped out by Ke Haoran alone with his sword.
This sent a chill down Ye Hongyu's spine.
If Ke Haoran hadn't seen through Lian Sheng Thirty-Two's conspiracy and had instead gone directly to settle scores with Haotian Dao Sect, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Although she knew that the Xiling Temple had a profound foundation, she did not believe that anyone in the temple could stop Ke Haoran.
At the same time, she also received another important message.
Lian Sheng Thirty-Two did not die, but was imprisoned inside the Demon Sect's mountain gate.
She knew this high priest who was in charge of judgment in the temple very well, and was aware of his talent and gifts.
Now that Lian Sheng Thirty-Two is trapped in a cage, if I go and rescue him, wouldn't that make him owe me a favor?
Even if she can't save him in the end, he might still pass on all his skills to her, which would be an incredible opportunity.
Ye Hongyu thought about it more and more and felt that this was feasible, and she began to make plans in her mind.
After listening to Su Chen's analysis, Wu Zetian was momentarily stunned.
She never imagined that a genius like Ke Haoran, who is one in a thousand years, would also fall in love.
He went into seclusion not to guard the extreme realm against demons from beyond, but because he was disheartened after being injured.
"Could it be that my guess was wrong? The second floor of the academy isn't the Confucian realm among the five extreme realms at all?"
Wu Zetian began to have doubts and started to question her own judgment.
She was almost certain that the second floor of the academy was the Confucian realm among the five realms, and that Ke Haoran was the top expert guarding this realm.
But Su Chen's words completely overturned her thoughts.
Unless there is another expert in the academy who is even more powerful than Su Xinghe, there is no way to be associated with the Extreme Realm.
But Wu Zetian felt that this was simply impossible.
Su Xinghe is a top figure in the Celestial Longevity Realm, and there are very few people in the world who can reach such a level.
How could two such powerful individuals coexist within the same faction?
Thinking about it this way, Wu Zetian felt much more at ease.
If the second floor of the academy has nothing to do with those five extreme realms, that would be a really good thing.
"Thank you for your guidance, Celestial Master."
After bowing to Su Chen, Wu Zetian floated up lightly and landed gracefully behind the railing on the fifteenth floor, just like the wind.
Su Chen leisurely sipped his tea, his eyes slightly unfocused, as if his mind had wandered to another world.
